Mu ran 49.57 in the individual 400 and a 48.85 split on the relay to anchor Texas A&M to the win in a CR of 3:22.34. Sturgis’ 100 (a windy 10.74) was the fastest in NCAA history. USC won the team title.

Before April, Mahala Norris had never competed in the steeplechase. Before Thursday, she'd never competed atNCAA outdoors and had a 9:44.10 pb. Now her pb is 9:31.79 and she's the NCAA champ.

Entering the NCAA meet, Anna Camp was only the third-best 1500 runner on BYU’s roster. But today she was the best in the NCAA, taking down NCAA mile champ Sage Hurta of Colorado in a pb of 4:08.53.

The LSU men won their first national title since 2002, piling up 84 points in a dominant team performance. Individually, 20-year-old Randolph Ross of North Carolina A&T ran a world-leading 43.85 (#3 all-time NCAA) to add himself to a growing list of medal contenders in the one-lap event. There were also fast times for LSU freshman Sean Burrell in the 400 hurdles (world U20 record of 47.85, #4 all-time NCAA) and Florida’s Joseph Fahnbulleh, who came from way back to deny LSU’s Terrance Laird a 100, 200, 4x100 sweep by running 19.91 to Laird’s 19.94. In the field, LSU star JuVaughn Harrison completed the high jump-long jump double and Arizona State's Turner Washington completed the shot/discus double.

Noted front runners Isaiah Jewet and Brandon Miller were rewarded for boldly taking the 800 out in 50.9 and the rest of the field while well beaten ended up running fast as well as 8 of 9 guys set new PBs.

Teare got more than just his first NCAA individual crown. He also picked up the Olympic standard and broke Bill McChesney's legendary Oregon school record from 1982.

How impressive are these numbers? 3:35.35 (#5 all-time NCAA) with an epic negative split (1:48.87 final 800, 52.23 final 400, 25.9 final 200).

Cardama Baez finished 2nd in the 2019 NCAA 10k in heartbreaking fashion, but earned redemption after two years of waiting, breaking NCAA XC champ Mercy Chelangat of Alabama over the final lap.
